Answer:
Shortest side = 39 cm.
Median side = 65 cm.
Longest side = 91 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter in total is 195 cm. The ratio of the sides are 3 : 5 : 7.
First, find how much parts there are as a whole, by combining the ratios:
3 + 5 + 7 = 15 parts.
Divide the total of parts from the total measurement:
195/15 = 13
Each part has the measurement of 13 cm.
1 part = 13 cm.
Use the following ratio to solve for each of the sides:
Shortest side: 3
3 x 13 = 39
Median side: 5
5 x 13 = 65
Longest side: 7
7 x 13 = 91
Check. Combine all side measurements together. They should equal 195:
39 + 65 + 91 = 195
(39 + 65) + 91 = 195
(104) + 91 = 195
195 = 195 (True).
